Doesn't this apply to ANY product they make? Nonetheless, PPTP is widely deployed in corporate VPNs. You can allow unencrypted connections, but there is a setting to force encryption and even force encryption strength to 128 bits. I accept that it's not supremely secure. More advanced solutions are preferable. Buit it's included in every Windoze system and dead simple to setup. I think of it as about a secure as the WEP in my wirless lan.
